The mean pLDDT of this model is 56.1 (low overall). pLDDT is AlphaFold's per-residue confidence score from 0 to 100. In MolViewer, choose the B-factor color scheme to color the model by pLDDT, because AlphaFold stores it in the B-factor column.
| pLDDT band | Meaning | Share of residues |
|---|---|---|
| Above 90 | Very high: backbone and side chains are usually accurate | 23% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 13% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 7% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 56% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Protease that acts as a positive regulator of the cGAS-STING pathway by catalyzing desumoylation of CGAS. Desumoylation of CGAS promotes DNA-binding activity of CGAS, subsequent oligomerization and activation (By similarity). Deconjugates SUMO2 and SUMO3 from targeted proteins, but not SUMO1 (PubMed:18799455). Catalyzes the deconjugation of poly-SUMO2 and poly-SUMO3 chains (PubMed:18799455). Has very low efficiency in processing full-length SUMO proteins to their mature forms (PubMed:18799455)
